Eugene Symphony’s October Concert Earns Standing Ovation – and Can Be Seen Online Starting Nov. 4
Eugene Scene - Daniel Buckwalter >
“I was struck most with Water Sings Fire – a 12-minute piece composed by Portland native Andrea Reinkemeyer, who teaches composition and theory at Linfield College. … But this is not the Disney version of The Little Mermaid. The comic book evolution of the story and of Ulla’s character is far darker … Indeed, the music conjures images of pitch-black alleys and desolate landscapes. I could envision Ulla walking this ground, alone at night, and absorbing the motivations of everyone, including herself, that has led to this destruction.”
